False Entry:

by Lee Timms

A missing deposit. An unfinished development. And a case that is anything but straightforward.

When forensic accountant Peter "Bales" Bailey takes on a new client, the job seems simple enough. A property development in Cambridge has stalled. The developer has gone quiet. And the money seems to have disappeared with them.

For Bales, it should be exactly the kind of case he knows how to solve. But as he starts following the numbers, it becomes clear that there is far more at stake than missing deposits. And this time Bales & Katie might be in deeper than they realise.

Some entries are designed never to be found.

False Entry is the fourth book in the Bales & Co Financial Crime Series featuring Peter "Bales" Bailey & Katie Taylor. "Just read book one, you won't stop." - Reader Review.

About the author

Lee Timms writes thrillers about money, murder, and the occasional missing biscuit tin. His Bales & Co series introduces Peter “Bales” Bailey, a forensic accountant with a Jaguar and too much curiosity, and Katie Taylor, his dynamic partner who knows how to land a punch when audits don’t cut it.
Lee lives near Cambridge with his partner Vanessa and dog Luna, and insists his own accounts are mostly reconciled.
